We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include metadata like Application Close Date etc. Must remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin’s mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. As part of a small, passionate and accomplished team of experts in the Systems and Avionics Center of Excellence, you will provide experienced technical support to Blue Origin program personnel and the established Radiation Effects team. From mission inception to operation, you will help ensure the success of Blue Origin's systems, engaging program leadership and engineers to drive intelligent system design, part selection, and analyses." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". - Responsibilities: list bullet points under "Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To". Then each bullet with sub-bullets? Actually they have headings within responsibilities: "Design Validation & Engineering Support — Contribute strongly to validation of space program designs with respect to radiation control plans, requirements, implementation, and verification; provide design engineering support for avionics and electrical systems". Then "Circuit Analysis & Mitigation Leadership — Lead program design personnel through simulation and verification of digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuit performance under radiation effects; recommend mitigation techniques where required to meet performance requirements". Then "Technical Contribution & Analysis — Analyze impacts of space radiation on avionics and materials, including SEE rates, testing requirements, and failure analysis; incorporate radiation effects test data and analysis results into avionics designs". Then "Documentation & Decision Support — Generate thorough part-level, circuit-level, and system-level radiation effects analysis documentation". Then "Automation & Tooling Leadership — Develop and champion reusable scripts, tools, and AI-assisted workflows that improve efficiency and consistency of radiation effects analysis across the broader team". Then "Knowledge Sharing — Contribute to group-, program-, and company-wide knowledgebase for radiation effects on avionics and materials". We can treat each as a list item. - Minimum Qualifications: includes Education & Experience, Technical Domain Expertise, Circuit Analysis & Mitigation, Analysis & Modeling Tools, Automation & Tooling Leadership, Testing Familiarity, Documentation & Communication, Autonomy & Judgment, Collaboration & Culture, Eligibility & Travel. These are qualifications. Could be under "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction says use headings like "Requirements, Qualifications, Skills". We need to decide which sections to include. We have both minimum qualifications and preferred qualifications. Could combine into "Qualifications" (minimum) and maybe "Preferred Qualifications". But we should avoid thin sections. We could have a "Qualifications" section containing both minimum and preferred? But we need to preserve all substantive info. We could have "Minimum Qualifications" and "Preferred Qualifications" as subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot create custom headings like "Minimum Qualifications". We could put qualifications under "Qualifications" and maybe separate minimum vs preferred within that using

or

    . But we need to preserve details. Better: Use "Qualifications" for minimum qualifications, and maybe "Preferred Qualifications" as a subsection under Qualifications? But not allowed heading. Could embed as a

    stating "Preferred qualifications include:" then list. Similarly "Skills" could be for technical skills like programming languages etc. But we have many skill-like items in qualifications (e.g., Programming & Protocols). Could place under Skills. We need to decide a structure that captures all info without inventing headings. We have Pay info: Base Pay Range For VA applicants is $121,023.00 - $169,432.20 CO applicants is $110,938.00 - $155,312.85 WA applicants is $121,023.00 - $169,432.20 Other Site Ranges May Differ That's specific pay ranges. So we should include a Pay section with that info. Benefits: there is a Benefits section with details. So include Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule. We also have "Application Close Date" etc which we should drop. We also have "Culture Statement", "Export Control Regulations", "Background Check Required", "Equal Employment Opportunity", etc. Those are boilerplate to remove. Thus final HTML:
